1 Head injuries Personal Injury All you need to know about making a brain injury claim from leading personal injury lawyers Irwin Mitchell.
2 Whilst I appreciated your legal services enormously, it is the manner in which you delivered that help that has made all the difference. Sean Contents This information relates to the law and procedures in England and Wales. Please contact us if you need advice about the law and procedure in other legal jurisdictions. Introduction Why use Irwin Mitchell? How can we help? When can I make a claim? Do I have a case? How much will it cost? How much compensation will I get? What happens when I claim? What else can we help with? Useful contacts
3 Introduction 5 We understand head injuries. With years of experience working with fellow sufferers and their families, we appreciate what you are going through and know exactly what needs to be done to help you get the compensation you deserve. If someone else is to blame for causing your head or brain injury, you can claim compensation for the pain and suffering you are going through. You can also claim money to cover what you have lost or had to pay out, for example if you have had to give up work or pay for private treatment We know from helping many people who have suffered from head and brain injuries just how much these injuries can affect your life. We have seen an enormous range of symptoms and this has helped us to develop our knowledge of the problems that you might face on a daily basis. Our specialist serious injury team have helped thousands of people claim compensation after a head injury, giving them the funds they need to make the necessary changes to their lifestyle. We also provide a range of other services including helping you access high-quality rehabilitation and support. I want to thank you for all your hard work. I still cannot for the life of me understand why I chose to go to a local solicitor in the first instance and why I found it so hard to change when I could see that the claim was too big for him to handle. I shall certainly be recommending you to anyone I meet who may be considering a head injury claim. Stephanie Above all, we put you first.
4 Why use Irwin Mitchell? 7 Irwin Mitchell is one of the largest and most experienced personal injury law firms in the country.

6 When can I make a claim? 11 Head injury claims usually need to be made within three years of the accident or incident that caused the injury. Variations For children, the time limit does not start until their 18th birthday for court claims and in cases, involving people with very severe brain injuries, a court can decide that the normal time limits will not apply. Where the injuries are caused by criminal assault, the time limit for making a claim may also be different and is usually two years from the date of the injury or assault. No special exceptions are normally made for children after a criminal injury. Likewise, special schemes like the untraced drivers scheme may have different time limits. When road traffic collisions happen outside England and Wales time limits may vary and are often shorter. The sooner you contact us the better we are able to prepare your claim and the greater your chances of winning will be.
7 Do I have a case? 13 If you are unsure whether you have a claim, you or a family member just need to pick up the phone and talk it over with us. We ll assess your case free of charge, tell you what we think and then you can decide if you want to go ahead. What are my chances of winning? We have a long track record of winning compensation cases where people initially thought they did not have a claim. When you contact us we will give you realistic advice on the chances of winning based on the information you provide. It is not possible to give a definitive answer on any case. However, the more information we have the more accurate an assessment we can make. We can also offer a Free Legal Health Check if you already have an on-going personal injury case with another lawyer and you have concerns about how your case is being managed. We are frequently asked to take over cases for clients who have not received the level of service that they expect. In these situations a lack of experience of dealing with specialist cases can lead to significant delays, a failure to obtain important interim payments and the possibility that cases are undervalued. This can mean that you miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of targeted rehabilitation and fail to receive all of the care, therapy and equipment that you need in order to obtain the best quality of life that is possible post your injury. It is fine to seek a second opinion from another solicitor or barrister, and changing your legal representation should not normally cost you anything.
8 How much will it cost? 15 Don t worry about legal costs. Contacting us for initial advice on your claim will cost you nothing even our phone number is free to call. If we advise you to pursue a claim with us, we will review all the options for funding it. New Legislation The Government introduced some changes to how legal costs and funding for personal injury claims will work from 1 April Due to these changes you will no longer be able to recover all of your legal costs from your opponent. Whilst all of your legal costs can no longer be recovered from your opponent, it is likely that you will still recover the substantial majority of your basic legal costs. Options for Funding your Claim There are a number of ways in which you could fund your case. These include: Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly known as a No Win No Fee agreement Legal Expenses Insurance as part of your household or car insurance you may have legal expenses cover to help with any legal costs Trade Union if you are a member of a trade union they may provide assistance for some legal issues. If you do not have access to legal expenses insurance or trade union assistance, your best option is to consider a No Win No Fee agreement. Even if you do have access to other funding options, a No Win No Fee agreement may still be the best option for you. I am writing on behalf of all my family and myself, to thank you for all the hard work and difficulties you dealt with on our behalf. We are really most grateful for all your efforts and compassionate understanding of our worries. Ellen When we discuss your claim in more detail we will tell you if the No Win No Fee option is available or if we need to look at the other funding options above.
9 17 How a No Win No Fee agreement can work for you If after reviewing all of the funding options with you and we recommend that our No Win No Fee agreement in combination with an insurance policy designed to protect you is your best option, you can be reassured that there is no financial risk to you if you are unsuccessful*. If you win: Your opponent will pay the majority of our basic legal costs and disbursements (e.g. court fees, medical reports) If you win, any costs not payable by your opponent will include: - The premium for your insurance policy to protect you fully against any risk of legal costs - Some of your basic legal costs which cannot be recovered from your opponent - A success fee which compensates us for the risk that if it was unsuccessful then we would not recover any legal fees at all If you win, you won t have to pay a penny out of your own pocket until your claim has successfully come to an end and then any of the costs not paid by your opponent will be deducted from any compensation awarded to you If any disbursements cannot be recovered from your opponent these will be covered by your insurance policy There are no hidden costs. You will receive regular updates about the costs being charged to your case and any costs not recovered from your opponent will be deducted from any compensation awarded to you To help you with your legal costs, the Government has provided a 10% increase in the amount awarded to you for your pain, suffering and loss of amenity. If you lose: We can promise you, there is no financial risk to you if your claim is unsuccessful* You won t have to pay a penny out of your own pocket whilst your claim is being pursued We would make no charge whatsoever to you You will be fully covered by your insurance policy for any disbursements You will be fully protected by your insurance policy from any of your opponent`s legal costs There are no hidden costs. You will receive regular updates about the costs at key stages throughout your case so you are fully aware of the charges involved. If unsuccessful there is no financial risk to you.* We will do everything we can to protect and support you to proceed with your claim and we will keep you updated at all times. Remember, there is absolutely no financial risk to you or your family if you are unsuccessful.* * Subject to entering into a No Win No Fee agreement in conjunction with our Allianz Litigate insurance policy and complying with your responsibilities under its terms.
10 How much compensation will I get? 19 The amount of compensation you receive will depend on the seriousness of your injury, how it has affected your life, how much money you have lost or will lose as a consequence and whether you will need extra support in the future. Individually assessed We will advise you at the outset on how your opponent`s insurers and the courts approach the assessment of compensation and how that will apply to your case. However, it is important to bear in mind that everyone is different and the consequences of the same injury in terms of working life and home-life will vary from person to person. Keeping you informed As we learn more about you and your circumstances, we will be able to provide you with a more accurate idea of the financial value of your claim. You can be assured that we will do everything we can to recover the maximum amount of compensation available to you. We will also advise on the best payment terms to suit your immediate and ongoing needs. As well as securing financial compensation, we will help you and your family with the practical issues and day to day impact of your injury as well as helping you to get access to the best medical care and rehabilitation.
11 What happens when I claim? 21 Once you have instructed us to claim on your behalf, we will investigate your case thoroughly by gathering witness statements and other relevant details about your injury and on-going requirements. Insurance Once we have all the details of your case, a claim will be made against the relevant person or company, who usually have insurance. We will then wait for a response from the insurance company you are claiming against. This can go one of two ways - either they decide to meet your claim or they do not. Don t worry if an insurance company turns down your claim at first as this often happens - it does not mean that your claim will fail. Assessments At Irwin Mitchell we assess every client s rehabilitation needs regardless of the value of your claim. We will arrange for specialists to assess your rehabilitation needs and the extent of your head injury. Some clients may warrant other expert assessments such as care needs and you and your family will be fully consulted as to the proposed course of action. Out of court settlements The vast majority of cases are settled before they go to court. However, if your case is one of the few that is to be decided by a judge don t worry. This is perfectly normal and we ll be there to help you every step of the way. I just want to thank you for all your support and patience in dealing with the complexities of my claim. Your positive approach and reassurance kept me going at the times when I just felt like running away from it all. I am sure others are now benefitting from your expertise and caring manner. Gill
